A mum's Ring Doorbell camera captured the shocking moment a boy can be heard screaming while he was being attacked outside her home by a gang of thugs on bikes.
The mum-of-one was in her home at the time of the incident which took place at around 6:44pm, the Liverpool Echo reports. After hearing the boy's cries she went outside to investigate but couldn't see anyone on the road.
However, she was left ''upset'' when she later discovered the awful footage on her Ring Doorbell, which showed what had been going on outside her property. The footage shows the young lad being struck in the face by a gang member who as on foot before two more thugs arrive on bikes and run to join the fight.
One of the gang is also caught brutally kicking the victim as the boy screams throughout the assault. The trio then took off on their bikes and discarded the attacked young lad on the ground.
The appalled mother said she was ''worried'' for the boy and hoped he was okay after the incident. She said: "I actually heard it from the kitchen because his screams were so loud and when I looked the doorbell had captured it.
"I'm just worried for him and hope he's ok. It's the second time we've seen someone attacked in a couple of months on the same corner and it's been a group piling on to one lad each time."
It's not been confirmed whether or not the incident was reported to Merseyside Police.
